A couple of weeks back I was introduced to the wonderful world of drawings done by Minoru (check out the article). Since then, he's informing us that he had Titpig (website - TubeBear profile) and Casy of Maximus pose as models for him this year, and next year he will be drawing MackSF (website). Minoru has also sent us some drawings which he hasn't put up on his site as of yet, so you're getting to see them for the 1st time here - click here to see the artwork - and definitely make sure to check out his site - ArtByMinoru.

A must see for anyone who enjoys the look of a Bearish man is the Art by Minoru. His work kind of makes me think of how Michelangelo would have drawn Bears if he were alive today... then again... Minoru has his own very distinct style, especially when it comes to detailing faces. There are several Bearish guys I recognize that he has drawn which makes it all that more exciting to view his work. Prints are available of his work, all you have to do is email him.

Here's a little bit about Minoru, from his site: "Minoru was born in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. He attended Asia University in Tokyo and received his Bachelor's Degree in Business. He also attended the Bunka Fashion Academy in Tokyo where he studied Fashion Design as well as Fashion Illustration. He worked in the fashion industry in Japan until 1979 when he moved to Los Angeles.

Minoru has taken various life drawing classes at East Los Angeles College, Pasadena City College and finally Glendale Community College. Also while at Glendale Community College, he also took classes in illustration, oil painting, water color and print making. He has been given various First Place awards at student art shows for his works in life drawing, water color and print making. Currently, he lives in Burbank, California.

Minoru's unique style shows in all his work from his erotic pieces to his non-erotic fine art. For more than six years, rarely has a day gone by that he has not worked on his drawings. When you see the detail in his work, you'll no doubt agree it has been time well spent".
